(Reuters) -Chelsea striker Sam Kerr is doing all she can to get back on the pitch as she recovers from an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury but it is unclear whether she can return before the end of the season, manager Sonia Bompastor said.

The 31-year-old Australia captain has not played in more than 15 months due to the injury, which she picked up at training with Chelsea in January last year.
